C.W. Crowl, Hydro-Test of West Texas
The casing and tubing are subjected to have become increasingly more severe. Therefore, the manufacturer and user have had to find ways to perform non-destructive tests to measure the performance properties of these tubes. Wells are not only being drilled deeper but more areas of high pressure are being encountered. Secondary recovery projects quite often increase the working pressure under which the tubes operate. The stimulating processes for oil and gas wells, such as fracturing and acidizing, have brought about new demands on tubular goods.
